CETINJE (Serbian, Tsetinye), capital of Montenegro, Yugo slavia, in a narrow plain deep in the limestone mountains, 2,068f t. above the sea. Pop. (1931) 6,367. On one peak stands the white dynastic tomb erected by its last ruler, and on another the old bell tower formerly used for the heads of Turks. The country is bare and stony, with carefully cultivated rich red soil in rock crevices. Heavy winter snow and spring and autumn floods make communications difficult. Cetinje contains two parallel streets of whitewashed cottages, connected by smaller ones ; the church (1478) of a fortified monastery, visited by pilgrims to the tomb of Peter I. (1782-183o) ; the old palace, the residence of the late King Nicholas and his heir; the court of appeal; a school; barracks; a seminary for priests and teachers, established by the tsar Alexander II. (1855-81) ; a library and reading room; a theatre ; a museum ; a hospital ; a bank, and a war memorial. The girls' school founded by the tsaritsa Marie was closed in 1913. The town is lit by electricity. Near the old palace stood the celebrated plane tree beneath which Prince Nicholas gave audi ence until the end of the 19th century. Near the modern palace, in a glass house, guarded by a sentry, is a contour map of the country, some 6of t. long, on which every fort, town, village, road and stream is depicted. A zigzag highway, a triumph of engineer ing, winds through the mountain passes between Cetinje and Cattaro, passing the impregnable Mt. Lovcen. Here Peter II. (183o-51), the poet ruler, is buried. He introduced a prison and a printing press, but the latter was soon melted down for bullets. Other roads give access to Rijeka, a steamship station at the head of Lake Scutari, and to Podgorica, both served by diligence. There is, however, little trade, though mineral waters are manu factured. Cetinje owes its origin to Ivan the Black, who was forced in 1484 to withdraw from Zhabliak, his former capital.
